abstract = {Artificial nanostructures, fabricated by placing building
blocks such as atoms or molecules in well-defined positions,
are a powerful platform in which quantum effects can be
studied and exploited on the atomic scale. Here, we report a
strategy to significantly reduce the electron-electron
coupling between a large planar aromatic molecule and the
underlying metallic substrate. To this end, we use the
manipulation capabilities of a scanning tunneling microscope
(STM) and lift the molecule into a metastable upright
geometry on a pedestal of two metal atoms. Measurements at
millikelvin temperatures and magnetic fields reveal that the
bottom-up assembled standing metal-molecule nanostructure
has an $S = \frac{1}{2}$ spin which is screened by the
substrate electrons, resulting in a Kondo temperature of
only $291 \pm 13$ mK. We extract the Landé $g$-factor of
the molecule and the exchange coupling $Jρ$ to the
substrate by modeling the differential conductance spectra
using a third-order perturbation theory in the weak coupling
and high-field regimes. Furthermore, we show that the
interaction between the STM tip and the molecule can tune
the exchange coupling to the substrate, which suggests that
the bond between the standing metal-molecule nanostructure
and the surface is mechanically soft.},
